Proposed reaction mechanism of the O-methylation with TMS-DM and DM as based on Kuehnel et al, 2007. The mechanism shows the abstraction of a hydrogen from the phenol with subsequent in situ generation of diazomethane which after a second hydrogen abstraction can react with the hydroxyl group of the analyte to form a methoxy derivate.
